Is there a way in which I can get php to function within an .html document?

Change the extension to .php and add a <? ?> at the beginning and end. I don't know of any way to do it with an .html extension.

Go into httpd.conf and add this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Restart apache and your set. Now all .html files will be parsed by php. Or at least they should, I've never attepmted anything like this. Give it a try.

Im doing this for a client. He has told me his previous host was able to load php in .html documents. I have already suggested that he change the extensions and the customer is rather annoyed that they would have to go through and change all the extensions, and links.

Tried that already.. didn't work.

Haze, could you send me your httpd.conf file? It's just a matter of adding .html next to .php in the file and then restarting Apache. But you may have some kind of custom setup on your httpd.conf file. I can take a look at it for you. PM it to me.

Restart apache if you didn't

OR try this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .html

^^ I think that works..

Do you really think it's good to parse nearly every file on the server as a PHP file? It will add some overhead...

If that's only for one client, use a .htaccess instead. That way the others wouldn't be affected.

Good Idea.
